Winds Versus Jets in Active Galactic Nuclei
David Garofalo, Chandra B. Singh, Atticus Magerko +3
The well-established anti-correlation between disk winds and relativistic jets in X-ray binaries is often interpreted in a scale-invariant black hole accretion context. If so, acti…

A GRMHD-Calibrated Semi-Analytical Model for Hot Sub-Keplerian Accretion Flows in Kerr Spacetime
Nabin Bhushal, Manil Khatiwada, Yogesh Maharjan +2
We develop a simple, semi-analytical, kinematic model for hot, thick accretion flows, constructed by interpolating between Keplerian and free-fall geodesic solutions in the Kerr me…

How a Klein-Nishina Modified Eddington limited accretion explains rapid black hole growth in the early universe
Jackson Frangos, Erick Rosen, Michael Williams +2
The discovery of quasars and their supermassive black holes (SMBHs) over merely hundreds of millions of years after the Big Bang generates tension with the idea…
